The Official #1 Tennessee @ #3 Georgia Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, CBS

Yeah, too much talent

Seriously dude?

 

[casetopia]

Hooker had the under.

 

[DaddyChad]

Hooker is bad off today. Georgia of course is partially responsible but he’s had open wrs. This could be a one score game if he hits Hyatt in the first half and he had a wr open there in the end zone

 

[Vols All Day]

It’s obvious this offense does work but when you face a good defense you best know how to adjust.

Our inability to adjust our passing game killed us. Defense did their job.

This right here sums it up. We didn’t attempt to adjust. Georgia showed us they were going to blitz on 3rd and long and we attempted to run deep routes.

 

[Arrested Devolopment]

Its just my opinion. Us being number one, heisman leader at qb, conference on the line, playoff berth on the line, and we look like this in front of the nation.. yea this is horrible

Psychological implosion is not a good look.

 

[Freak]

Hooker thinking of individual awards, doesn't want to force the ball. Tillman running wide open though

Yeah, I'm sure is thinking taking a sack is better for his Heisman chances.

 

[turbovol]

It's not just Hooker---our receivers have not gotten separation. Hyatt did on a bomb early in the game but Hooker overthrew him. They've throttled us---embarrassing. Our receiver group is not quite what it was cracked up to be. Georgia is a very good defense--but who thought we'd be this bad?

 

[Volinfla13]

Yes we’re getting beat like a rented mule but GA is a really good football team. All is not lost

2007 FLA 59 TN 20
2016: Alabama 49, Tennessee 10
2018: Alabama 58, Tennessee 21
2017: Georgia41Tennessee0

Tennessee wasn’t supposed to be in any of those except 2016.. I get it this is probably not the worst game, but it’s definitely bad.

 

[Jaingo]

I’m going to say this…I have said for a long time that Hooker is bad when he receives pressure. He folds every time. He has been the benefactor of good line play….today it was bad and you see what he did. He is decent college QB. Lots of positives but he is not a championship type QB. I am proud of the Vols this season. They overachieved but this was embarrassing.

We have got to compete in recruiting to stand a chance. Georgia is levels above us. It’s not even close. We took advantage of bad secondary play against Bama. I’m just sick about it but again, you have to be happy with a 1 loss regular season record if we hold up. Georgia or Alabama will win it all this year. I don’t even care to play them again because it’s not competitive

I sort of agree. After that interception by Ringo, he almost refuses to trust himself. I think he is still one of the best in CFB but he definitely responded poorly today.

 

[bpalmer28]

If this is the floor, the only steps up are Atlanta and the playoff. Georgia isn’t letting us get to Atlanta in the next few years. We can get to a 12 team CFP but that’s it.

I disagree 100%. Georgia is no more ahead of us than Bama was last year. We closed that gap and we will close this one. We’ve played terrible today. Georgia has made some plays but we’ve shot ourseves in the foot all day and hooker has been uncharacteristicly bad.

 

[UTK]

Literally our only hope would be for UGA to run the table and beat Bama and TCU to drop one. That puts UGA, UM/OSU, Clemson, and us. But again I just think we will drop to far after this performance

But even then, it the UM OSU game is close the loser of that might get in over us. We weren’t competitive at all this game

 

[Andrew8210]

Tennessee fans must become Georgia fans after today's game. We need Georgia to win out.

 

[DaddyChad]

Have to give Georgia credit. They refused to play up close and took away the deep ball. They also made a lot of DPI's and Holding penalties to surrender instead of giving up big play. Template how to beat us.

He’s had the deep ball. He just hasn’t hit it.

 

[C-south]

Is Hooker suddenly a moron?

 

[volfan1631]

This has looked like a different style offense than what got TN to where they are. I don't know if it was GA or the scheme today.

 

[mpfvol]

Take Hooker out he is done. seeing Ghost

 

[BUCCnVOLfan]

Hooker looks like a transfer QB from VA Tech today.

 

[bpalmer28]

Ouch Hooker. Wide open deep

Very uncharacteristic

 

[molsen81]

UGA was embarrassed by Bama and then torched them in the playoff championship. Maybe we’ll get lucky and return the favor.

 

[BJSforVols]

Even with a loss I don't think TN is totally out of the playoff picture. Especially if the loss is 14 points or less.

There's a good chance it's going to be more than 14 for one thing, and secondly, we have not been competitive. I could see TCU and Bama both passing TN in the rankings.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Is Hyatt even trying to run a route?

Well here is my take agree or disagree? Remember last year when we complained as fast as he was he couldn't get open. This game he started getting behind their secondary but after multiple misses he has kind of given up. These Georgia dbs are being extra physical and he is not that type of receiver. He isnt shedding blocks.

 

[orange_glory]

Nobody open

 

[AthensVol2007]

Why go slow?

The slowed down tempo lulled us into false starts, didn’t get UGA napping, didn’t wear them down etc. We didn’t play our game.

 

[Orange931]

Gotta get a score here. It’s been embarrassing enough
